Rash
tEETH (Portland) www.rubberteeth.com
Rash explores insatiable needs and/or desires and the obsessive behaviors that drive our longing for satisfaction and contentment. Performed with a tense, convulsive physicality, the piece layers repetitive action, manipulative gestures, and inhuman costuming to express a relentless path towards self-destruction and emptiness. An original sound score incorporating raw noise, an arresting melody, and live vocalization complete this eerie portrait.

“The work of choreographer Angelle Hebert and composer Phillip Kraft is absolutely riveting, thoroughly engaging, and very nearly incomprehensible.”
--The Portland Mercury

Playing Nice
Elsewhere Dance Theater (Austin)
A work made in choreographicanarchy. The piece that emerged sheds light on the negotiations and compromises we all face in making choices that involve others.

Not in But Here
Jordan Fuchs (NYC) & Sarah Gamblin (Denton) Sarah Gamblin and Jordan Fuchs negotiate a meeting ground of near misses, close-calls, and might-have-beens.

Falling Up
Heather Maloney (Miami)
Falling Up…that defining moment when you know things will never be the same. A physically integrated dance performance about reassembling the preemptive moment before the fall. Confronting visible and invisible disability the work is told through two parallel narratives, a childhood deflowering, and a fall where the body doesn't arrive back in the same way. Set in a dreamlike veiled space, this multimedia work traverses into emotional extremes.
